A woman in Australia used a supermarket rewards programme to catch her husband who was cheating on her. In a video on TikTok, the woman's private investigator revealed details about exactly what happened, Australian media reported early Sunday (Jan 12).
The private investigator, identified as Cass, said that her client wanted to find out how her husband was cheating. According to a report by news.com.au, the woman and her husband lived in Queensland.&nbsp;
However, the man had been making frequent trips to New South Wales (NSW) to visit his family, something he rarely did before.
<h2>How the extramarital affair was discovered</h2>
As her husband was making these frequent trips to NSW, his wife checked their joint bank accounts, the news.com.au report said.

The woman found transactions from the grocery store named Coles and a hardware store named Burnings, but as there were no specific locations attached to them, she could not prove anything.
Cass advised her to check if they had any joint rewards accounts, such as Everyday Rewards or Flybuys.
The couple had an account on Flybuys, and this is where all the beans were spilt following a revelation of the transactions on the app.
The purchases from Coles and Bunnings were listed with the suburbs where each store was located, and they turned out to be in a Queensland suburb where the husband&rsquo;s ex-girlfriend lived.
<h2>The reactions</h2>
There were several reactions to the TikTok post shareworldd by Cass, where users shared their stories of discovering the secret affairs of their partners.
&ldquo;Nailed it! Caught mine the same way,&rdquo; a woman commented on the post.
&ldquo;I found out my now ex-husband bought condoms and kids&rsquo; stuff at Big W when I was looking for a transaction on my Everyday Rewards account. We don&rsquo;t have kids,&rdquo; another user commented.

I was foolish to spend any time with him: Bill Gates on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

The carnivore diet has emerged as a trend in health and fitness in recent years with several celebrities and social media influencers thriving on it.&nbsp;
The carnivore diet comprises the consumption of meat, fish, eggs, and certain dairy products. It excludes all other foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds etc.
There are limited benefits of this diet including improved blood pressure, weight loss, and improved cardiovascular health.
However, excess of anything is bad and one such case has emerged of a man who ate only meat for months.
<h2>The case</h2>
According to a report by Live Science on January 23, the man had been following the carnivore diet for eight months. The man, who was in his 40s, developed yellow lumps on his hands and feet.
Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-do-you-love-your-bacon-eating-processed-red-meat-can-add-to-your-dementia-risk-suggests-large-study-745973" rel="dofollow">Do you love your bacon? Eating processed red meat can add to your dementia risk, suggests large study</a>
Doctors treating his case said that the man's dietary habits included a high intake of fats comprising 3-4 kilograms of cheese, sticks of butter, and additional fat incorporated into his hamburgers which he ate daily.
Though the carnivore diet helped the man lose weight and develop energy, he ended up having yellow lumps on his body.
<h2>What are these yellow lumps?</h2>
The Live Science report said that the man was diagnosed with Xanthelasma in which harmless, yellow deposits of cholesterol build up under the surface of the skin.&nbsp;
The lumps can be soft, chalky, or semi-solid. The lumps can emerge anywhere in the body but are most commonly found in hands, feet, elbows, joints, tendons, and knees.

The doctors said that the carnivore diet caused the amount of cholesterol in the man's blood to skyrocket to more than 1,000 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)- which is almost four times higher than his usual levels of 210 to 300 mg/dL.
Xanthelasma is not a dangerous condition and affects around one per cent of people globally. However, the skin condition can flag that someone is at a high risk of developing more serious ailments in future, some of which can be deadly.&nbsp;

In a statement, the justice ministry said that when the plane landed in Brazil's Manaus, authorities ordered US officials to immediately remove the handcuffs.
Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski told President Lula da Silva of "the flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of Brazilian citizens," the statement added.
The flight was originally destined for the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte but encountered a technical issue forcing it to land in Manaus.
<h2>'Not given water, nor allowed to use washroom'</h2>
One of the passengers aboard the flight told the news agency AFP, "On the plane, they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom."
"It was very hot, some people fainted," the passenger added.
Another passenger said that there was no air conditioning on the flight due to technical issues, which led to many passengers facing respiratory problems.

A government source told AFP that the deportation flight was not directly linked to any immigration orders issued by Trump upon taking office Monday but&nbsp;rather stemmed from a 2017 bilateral agreement.
Brazil's Minister of Human Rights, Macae Evaristo, said during a press conference that "children with autism ... who went through very serious experiences" were also on the flight.
<h2>Lula orders passengers to be transported to their final destination</h2>
The justice ministry statement also said that upon learning about the situation, President Lula ordered that a Brazilian Air Force (FAB) aircraft be mobilised to transport the passengers to their final destination to ensure that they could complete their journey with dignity and safety.&nbsp;
This incident came as Latin America is grappling with the Trump administration's hard-line anti-immigration agenda.

Flagrant disregard: Brazil outraged as immigrants deported from US arrive in handcuffs

United States (US) President Donald Trump said on Saturday (January 25) that he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they were accepting from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
During a presser with reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump also said that he ended his predecessor Joe Biden's hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.

This lifted a pressure point that had been meant to reduce civilian casualties during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza which is currently halted by a ceasefire.
"We released them today," Trump said of the bombs, adding, "They (Israel) have been waiting for them for a long time."
<h2>'Something has to happen'</h2>
Trump said he would like Egypt to take Palestinian refugees. "You&rsquo;re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say- You know it's over," he said.
The US president also complimented Jordan for successfully accepting refugees.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;d love for you to take on more, cause I&rsquo;m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it&rsquo;s a mess. It&rsquo;s a real mess,&rdquo; Trump told Jordan's King Abdullah II.

Regarding the mass movement of Palestinians, Trump said, &ldquo;It could be temporary or long term,&rdquo; adding that the area of the world that encompasses Gaza, has &ldquo;had many, many conflicts&rdquo; over centuries.
"...it&rsquo;s (Gaza) literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything&rsquo;s demolished, and people are dying there. So, I&rsquo;d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change," the US president told reporters.

Israel welcomed Trump's initiative to transfer Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
In a post on X, far-right Otzma Yehudit party leader Itamar Ben Gvir said, "Congratulations to US President Trump on the initiative to transfer residents from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.

Gaza war: Trump wants Jordan, Egypt, & other Arab nations to accept more refugees; Israel lauds initiative

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday (January 25) that the Donald Trump administration in the United States (US) had not stopped military aid to Kyiv.
&ldquo;I am focused on military aid; it has not been stopped, thank God,&rdquo; President Zelensky said at a press conference alongside his Moldovan counterpart Maia Sandu.

Zelensky's remarks came days after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he would pause foreign aid grants for 90 days.

United States (US) President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan delivered a message to Pope Francis by saying that the sovereign of the Vatican City State should focus on fixing the Catholic Church.
In an interview with American news network Newsmax, Homan on Friday (January 24) reacted to the remarks that Pope Francis made this week. Francis had called the mass deportations being carried out by the Trump administration a "disgrace."

"If this is true, it is a disgrace, because it makes the poor unfortunate who have nothing pay the price of imbalance. This is not how things are solved," Pope said during an interview earlier this week.
<h2>Homan counters Pope</h2>
Speaking to Newsmax, Homan said on Friday, "Well, let me give a message to the pope: I'm a lifelong Catholic. I was born Catholic. I've been through Catholic doctrine."
"Look, you only concentrate on fixing the Catholic Church, first of all. He's (Trump) got big problems there," he added.

Trump's border czar also highlighted that there is a wall in the Vatican and that entering the European country illegally is a serious crime.&nbsp;
"So he can protect the Vatican where he lives; he can build a wall where he lives, where American people are not allowed that? No," Homan further told the network.
<h2>A show of force on illegal immigration</h2>
Less than a week after becoming the American president, Donald Trump touted deportation efforts and published new rules Friday making it easier to remove people.
Amid officials&rsquo; latest show of force, waves of worry reverberated in parts of the US, with officials in Newark, New Jersey, lashing out over what they called illegal arrests by immigration agents, a report by the news agency Associated Press early Saturday said.
